Abstract

Post-Concert Depression (PCD), the emotional emptiness and mood decline experienced after intense concert euphoria remains an underexplored phenomenon in communication research, particularly regarding how fans manage this condition through communicative strategies. This study aims to examine the effect of uncertainty reduction strategies on the emotional well-being of K-Pop fans following concert attendance, specifically in the context of overcoming Post-Concert Depression (PCD). This study employed an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, combining quantitative and qualitative phases. In the quantitative phase, a survey was administered to 120 K-Pop fans who had attended at least one concert in 2024, selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS 28. In the qualitative phase, in-depth interviews were conducted with five informants drawn from the survey respondents to deepen the quantitative findings Emotional well-being was operationalized using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), measuring both positive and negative affect dimensions. The quantitative results reveal that uncertainty reduction (X) has a significant positive effect on emotional well-being (Y), explaining 49.5% of the variance (R² = 0.495; t = 10.761; p < 0.001). Interview findings corroborate these results, demonstrating that communication strategies, particularly active strategies such as peer interaction and information sharing, effectively alleviate PCD symptoms and enhance fans' post-concert emotional states. These findings contribute to the literature on the extended application of Uncertainty Reduction Theory beyond interpersonal contexts into the domain of popular culture and fan communication.

Abstract

Freedom of opinion is a form of channeling the expression of each individual in cyberspace or the internet. One form of self-expression and creativity is writing. There are various social media that support each individual in expressing creativity in terms of writing, including blogging or writing fiction. Various types of stories are presented in fan fiction writing, one of which is the type of love story that leads to the context of sexuality. The Korean Wave is one factor in the growing popularity of fan fiction writing. There are more than hundreds of thousands of fan fiction that have been produced about BTS, 570 thousand of which are fan fiction with mature material. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach and descriptive method. The following study uses primary data collected based on fanfiction content uploaded on the Wattpad website which is then analyzed using various literature and previous studies on communication ethics, freedom of opinion, and fanfiction writing. In the following study, researchers attempted to criticize cases that occurred in the fandom, which could give their idol a loss. This study explains that there are still violations of communication ethics committed by some fans to their idols through writing fan fiction. This is considered to violate communication ethics because of the uncomfortable feelings expressed by the object, namely his idol. Researchers formulate suggestions for future researchers to conduct a more in-depth analysis of both those who are contra and those who agree with the practice of writing fanfiction that leads to sexual behavior to provide broader insight into the following two perspectives.

Abstract

MSMEs at Transit Apartment Ujung Berung have previously participated in training programs on digital marketing and online promotional strategies. However, most of the promotional content they produce remains focused on visual and textual elements, while audio branding has not been utilized optimally as a component of brand identity. In fact, voice characteristics, intonation, and delivery style can contribute significantly to establishing emotional connections with audiences, enhancing consumer trust, and differentiating brands in a competitive digital environment. This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to strengthen MSME brand identity through voice branding and audio storytelling training. The program employed a participatory and practice-based approach, consisting of lectures, discussions, demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and mentoring sessions. Participants were guided to identify their unique vocal characteristics, develop storytelling-based promotional scripts, and produce simple audio-visual promotional content for social media platforms. The training emphasized the practical application of voice-over techniques as an audio branding strategy that can be implemented independently by MSME owners. The results of the program indicate an improvement in participants’ understanding of voice branding concepts and their ability to create promotional content that incorporates distinctive vocal elements. The activity also increased participants’ awareness of the importance of audio identity in supporting brand recognition and audience engagement. It is expected that the skills acquired through this program will enable MSMEs to develop stronger and more distinctive brand identities, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in the digital marketplace.
